Baron nodded, then walked over toward Flynn and Ruby. Ruby was still scolding Flynn. Flynn glared as Baron approached.

“Baron, you just wait!” Flynn spat, eyes cold.

Ruby slapped him across the back without hesitation. “How dare you threaten your sister’s husband? Do you think I coddle you?”

“Mom, mom, mom-ow, ow, ow! Take it easy! I’m your real son!” Flynn protested, sulking.

Ruby laughed. “A son-in-law is half a son. Baron is my son now too. Try bullying your brother- in-law from now on.”

Baron grinned, pleased. “Mom, I am your son.”

Ruby felt indebted to Baron for saving Natalie. Truth be told, she wanted to put him on a pedestal. More than his background or influence, it was his feelings for Natalie that had won her over. That mattered more than any title.

Flynn sulked at how badly things had gone for him. “Mom, am I even your biological son?” he asked, hoping for sympathy.

“Go ask your real mother,” Ruby shot back, then let go of him. Flynn rubbed his ear that hadn’t even gone red and glared at Baron. “Did you catch that guy? You chased him and came back empty-handed!”

“Flynn, what are you saying?” Ruby warned, ready to swing again, and Flynn took a few quick steps back.

Baron’s expression sobered. “He moves well. I didn’t catch him. I nearly got hurt-he’s skilled.”

Ruby’s worry spiked. “Baron, are you hurt?”

“No, Mom, I’m fine. Just a close call.” Baron smiled to put them at ease, then turned to Flynn. “This isn’t simple. My wife said Yvonne brought something back and they met a fake cop. We shouldn’t open the disk here. Dad’s not home, and this needs to be handled perfectly. I think we should take it to the Mateo estate and see Brian.”

At Baron’s suggestion, Flynn’s face lit up; Ruby paused in thought.

Footsteps sounded faintly outside. Baron’s eyes darkened. “Yvonne.” he called softly.

Yvonne moved quickly to stand beside him. “Someone’s coming,” she said, her training sharp.

Flynn immediately positioned himself in front of Ruby. “It’s not safe to confront whoever’s out there. We should use the secret passage to get to the Mateo estate.”
